      Start by building up your construction, then move on to the basics. You're going to want to focus on food to keep your standard of living up and textiles and logging to export. Keep up your textiles and add in saw mills and tool factories. But you won't have much of a population, so rely on Austria or Russia to help you win wars and take majority Greek lands.

    To be fair, I haven't really watched much V3 content on YT up to this point, but is the complete neglect of construction industries in the early-game a common strategy? I think you only went above the base 10 construction after the second Ottoman war, and those may have been from captured construction sectors.
    I had been playing under the assumption that construction and industrialization was the absolute top priority early on. Do you just import all of your government and military goods? Not sure how you manage to sustain that on such a low debt cap with both mercantilism and low taxes.

    • @TobyYellsAtThings
      @TobyYellsAtThings  2 месяца назад

      Honestly I'm not the person to ask about meta strategies. That would be more generalist's sphere. I honestly don't know what the meta is for that, in my head I didn't bother because the first 10 construction is free, and I could use that money instead to keep my pops happy/birthrate higher. I think it differs between playing large and small nations, because in my experience your population is a bigger stopping block then buildings are for small nations. idk if that's the meta way to do it, but it seems to work for me. If you try playing a single state nation and not expanding militarily the whole game you'll kinda see what I mean by this.
      But uh yeah, tbh no idea. when I play these I know I'm not playing to end game because it's just for a video, so as long as I get the video purpose done, I don't super care if it's the most efficient way possible.

    • @Pokeeko
      @Pokeeko 2 месяца назад

      I play Greece kinda often and being honest, at the start, you are lacking so much and are so small that is easier to go all in in military stuff like using the first months to build a navy and go around bulliying ppl weaker than you and taking their stuff, instead of building it lol, so using the free 10 construction sectors is enough imo, after the second war with the ottomans you have more states and population that is worth to start building up, another tip is to go for south africa asap, if they have some gold already discovered you will make a big bank out of nowhere, also using the Peru trick is nice as vassals in this patch pay a good bank to you and it cost like 6 infamy for all peru, land that you can use yourself later on, other than that, use Russia to attack china 1 or 2 times to take their money,, or use your own navy that you should be making big to attack Formosa and get easy money, this only work in the first 10 years probably
